Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00608
The grant opportunity titled "The Earliest Americans National Historic Landmark Theme Study for Alaska" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00608) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding action intended to support a single, focused project in Alaska: the development of a National Historic Landmark (NHL) theme study centered on some of the state s oldest known archaeological resources. The work is aimed at strengthening the National Historic Landmark program by building a clear, research-based framework for recognizing and nominating properties in Alaska that have national significance and that are tied to the earliest human presence in the region, generally described here as archaeological sites that are more than about 10,000 years old.
At its core, the project is about producing a formal theme study. In the NHL context, a theme study typically serves as an organizing document that pulls together scholarship, defines a historic context, and lays out how particular types of places should be evaluated against national significance standards. For this Alaska-focused study, the deliverable would be a historic context and a comparative analysis specifically addressing early archaeological sites. That means the study is expected to summarize what is known about early occupation and material culture in Alaska, explain why these resources matter in the broader story of American heritage, and provide a structured way to compare candidate sites so that the most nationally significant properties can be identified and advanced toward NHL nomination.
The opportunity is issued as a discretionary cooperative agreement in the humanities/cultural affairs area (CFDA 15.946). A cooperative agreement generally implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project compared with a standard grant, such as collaboration on scope, review of products, and coordination on the NHL-related evaluation approach. The funding ceiling is $125,000, with one expected award, reflecting that this is not a broad competitive solicitation but a targeted award intended to support one lead entity carrying out the study.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, and in practice this notice is explicitly a notice of intent to award to the State of Alaska. The listing states that applications will not be accepted from any other entity, meaning there is no open competition and no opportunity for other applicants to apply. The opportunity was created on September 18, 2019, with an original closing date of September 19, 2019, which aligns with the intent-to-award format rather than a typical application period.
In summary, this funding supports a single Alaska state-led effort, in collaboration with the National Park Service, to produce an NHL theme study that creates the research and evaluation foundation needed to identify, compare, and ultimately nominate nationally significant early archaeological sites in Alaska, particularly those dating to roughly 10,000 years ago or earlier.Apply for P19AS00608
